JACQUARD MACHINE AND CARD-PROTECTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 556,316, dated March 10, 1896.

Application filed July 11, 1895. Serial No- 55,604. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: cess f, in which are arranged the bearings g Be it known that I, SIMON MORGAN, a citifor the pivot h of lever h 71 In the recess zen of the United States, residing in Paterf is placed a spiral spring 7c pressing against son, county of Passaic, and State of New J erthe under side of the shorter arm h of said 5 sey, have invented certain newanduseful Imlever, while the longer arm h is provided provements in Jacquard Machines and Cardwith an elongated slot h surrounding the Protectors; andI do hereby declare the followcard-pin 1 The said levers h 71, when in noring to be a full, clear, and exact description of mal position do not project beyond the surthe invention,such aswillenable others skilled face of the cylinder. to in the art to which it appertains to make and To the Jacquard frame a is pivoted, as at use the same, reference being had to the ac- 'r, the lever r, supporting with one arm, companying drawings, and to letters of referthrough link connection W, the rod r guided ence marked thereon, which form a part of by the bracket 7' and with its other arm, this specification. through link connection T the rod 0*, guided I 5 My invention relates to the class of J acin bracket 4. The top of the rod r is adapted quard machines and card-protectors, and is an to engage the shorter arm h of the lever h 71 improvement on United States Letters Patent while the rod 1' is adapted to be engaged by No. 479,895, granted to me on August 2, 1892. the descending cross-head or griff A, only a Its object is to provide a durable and strong portion of the same being illustrated in the 2o device, reliable and positive in its operation drawings.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a Jacquard machine, the combination with the frames, the oscillating cylinder and its supporting bar, of a springcontrolled lever pivoted at or near each corner of said cylinder, a vertically-reciprocating rod arranged below said lever and adapted to operate the same and means for operating said reciprocating rod, substantially as described and for the purposes set forth.

2. In a Jacquard machine, the combination with the frame, the oscillating cylinder and its supporting bar, of a springcontrolled lever pivoted at or near each corner of said cylinder, a vertically-reciprocating rod arranged below said lever and adapted to operate the same, a spring-controlled lever fulcrumed on the frame and adapted to operate said reciprocating rod, and means for operatin g said fulcrumed lever, all said parts substantially as and for the purposes described.

3. In aJacquard machine, the combination with the frame, the vertically-reciprocating griff or cross-head, the oscillating cylinder and its supporting-bar, of a spring-controlled lever pivoted to said cylinder, a verticallyreciprocating rod adapted to operate said lever, a lever fulcrumed on the frame and connected with one end through an intermcdiate link with said reciprocating rod, a Vertically-reciprocating rod connected through an intermediate link with the other end of said fulcrumed lever and adapted to be operated by the griif or cross-head, and means for returning the fulcrumed lever to its normal position, all said parts, substantially as and for the purposes described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 1st day of July, 1895.

SIMON MORGAN.
